Xengel is a traditional dough dish of Azerbaijani cuisine, not to be confused with Georgian khinkali. Flat, diamond-shaped pieces of dough are boiled, topped with fried meat and onion, and laid over garlic yogurt. The Quba and Absheron versions differ slightly, sometimes made with cured meat. Simple as it looks, the taste of real xengel is in the thinness of the dough. Below are the best places for xengel in Baku.
